JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE

2012 ANNUAL REPORT

Finding New Balance and Enabling Positive Change

Rooted in community since 1911

JEWISH FAMILY SERVICE

MISSION

Inspired by Jewish values,

Jewish Family Service

assists individuals and

families by helping them

build on their strengths

to develop the skills and

confidence to meet life’s

challenges with dignity.

dear friendsIt is said that “Life is change”, and today’s rate of change can be dizzying.

The economy, the changing world of work, unsettling cultural shifts, the “grey

tsunami” of the baby boomers — all can contribute to our sense of vertigo.

At times like this, we need each other even more than usual.

Jewish Family Service is the place where individuals and families can

turn when looking for support in regaining balance. Our experienced,

compassionate staff and dedicated, energetic volunteers are ready partners in

helping a wide variety of people in areas such as employment, counseling, and

senior family matters, as well as resource location and use. JFS continues to

be very effective in helping individuals and families create the lives they

want by enabling development and practice of skills with which to face and

master change.

As representatives of JFS board and staff, we are proud to share some

information about the lives we have been privileged to touch in 2012. We

recognize with sincere appreciation your contributions to making this work

possible. Join us in celebrating 2012 as a year of accomplishments.

*The Depression Assessment Programs for Seniors (DAPS) is funded by a grant from the Department of Human Services Aging and Adult Services Division, and is a screening and intervention program that integrates depression awareness and management of depression symptoms into existing case management services already offered to seniors.
